Venice might not have been
Venice was an independent state for almost a millennium, but it might note have been. It all hinged on a single battle fought in the Venetian lagoon in 810.
In the 700s, it had been a province of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna for a long time. However, long wars between the Exarchate and the Lombards had reduced the province to just a sliver of lagoon, called Venetia Marittima, between Grado in the north and Ravenna in the south.
In 751, the Lombards got the better of the Exarchate, when they took Ravenna and captured and probably killed the last Exarch. Then the Franks under Charlemagne appeared in northern Italy, and defeated the Lombards.
